On June 15 2021, the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) have announced a new three-year project to empower authorities and citizens in Bosnia and Herzegovina to tackle corruption.
The OSCE Mission to BiH and INL presented the details of the project to an online gathering of representatives from the BiH Agency for the Prevention of Corruption and Coordination of the Fight against Corruption, along with anti-corruption teams across the country. The U.S.-funded project, which will be implemented by the OSCE Mission, features a comprehensive public awareness-raising campaign on the consequences of corruption and what citizens can do to prevent it. It also provides funding for strengthening the capacity of BiH anti-corruption bodies to prevent corruption.
This project supports broader international community efforts in assisting BiH authorities and citizens to combat corruption in order to improve economic conditions and create a more stable, prosperous country for the benefit of all citizens. The public awareness campaign will be designed to help and encourage BiH citizens to recognize and reject all forms of corrupt practices, and to report any abuses they may encounter to the appropriate authorities.
The OSCE Head of Mission to BiH Kathleen Kavalec said: "This project takes our corruption prevention work to the next level by giving the citizens and taxpayers of BiH the information and the tools they need to insist on accountability from public institutions and officials."
U.S. Ambassador Eric Nelson added: "We know that corruption saps economic growth, hinders development, destabilizes governments, undermines democracy, and provides openings for dangerous groups such as criminals, traffickers, and terrorists. This is why we support efforts like this one to prevent graft, strengthen investigation and prosecution of corruption, promote accountability and transparency, and empower reformers in BiH."
Sharing advanced experiences in the development of new systems and mechanisms to promote a corruption-free society facilitated by broadly accessible digital technologies is the subject of an OSCE-organized online seminar that opened in Ashgabat on 15 June 2021. The two-day event will provide an overview on a range of digital technologies in preventing and combatting corruption, and best practices in Digital Government transformation.
The seminar is part of the Centre’s project on Strengthening National Capacities in Preventing and Fighting Corruption. Representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Turkmenistan, the Ministry of Finance and Economics, the Ministry of Justice, the Central Bank, the Prosecutor-General’s Office, the State Customs Service and the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs and other state agencies and non-governmental structures participated in the event.
Two experts from Mongolia and Ukraine presented international standards and best practices in developing anti-corruption legislation and introducing information communication technology to enhance inter-agency co-operation efficiency. The experts facilitated discussion on digital dividends in the form of faster economic growth, more jobs and innovations.
In his opening speech, William Leaf, Politico-Military Dimension Officer of the OSCE Centre in Ashgabat, stressed the importance of anti-corruption measures for economic and social development: “Corruption is a key threat to good governance, democratic processes and fair business practices. Moreover, corruption is a major impediment to progress in trade and networking”. He emphasized the transparency, accountability and digitalization as preconditions for effective prevention and tackling corruption and expressed the willingness of the Centre to further promote and facilitate national, regional and international initiatives in the area.
“The OSCE attaches great importance to the fight against corruption and promotion of the principles of good governance,” added Leaf. “Among the OSCE’s planned activities is the advanced support to further develop a legislative anti-corruption framework and provide government officials, representatives of law enforcement, the private sector and civil society with all necessary information on best practices, policy trends and pertinent measures of OSCE participating States to prevent and suppress corruption.”
